2005-05-14 Hard Drive Upgrade

Installed Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 (6Y120L0) and reinstalled OS. Based on the date this was likely FreeBSD 5.3.

2007-07-12 6.2-RELEASE-p5

Added serial console for easier management. Performed source upgrade from 6.1 to 6.2-RELEASE-p5. Not sure when the upgrade was done from 5.3 to 6.1 or how many increments were in between. Such details are lost to history.

2008-01-09 Heat Sink and Fan Replacement

Replaced Heat Sink and Fan (Evercool Socket A). Previous fun died. Inferno didn't like this much.

2008-02-18 Hard Drive Upgrade

Previous hard drive Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 (6Y120L0) serial: Y35AK8PE was quickly failing. Added Promise SATA300 TX4 4-port SATA II PCI controller card and Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 SATA 3Gb/s NCQ 750GB 32MB Cache (ST3750330AS)

During the upgrade, updated the system from FreeBSD 6.2 to FreeBSD 7.0 RC2.

2008-02-26 Upgrade to FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE

Upgraded from FreeBSD 7.0-RC2 to 7.0-RELEASE. First successful cross-release upgrade using the new freebsd-update utility. Nice!
